I spent 2 days behind the scenes with Team BMC during the UCI MTB World Cup in Vallnord, Andorra. Chatting with riders and staff about what it takes to run the team during one of the most high-pressure race weekends of the year.

Note: The footage of the female rider crossing the line is Alessandra Keller, not Mona Mitterwallner. Mona did win, but I missed the moment in my rushing around.
